Diskograf is designed to be usable by everyone who wants to look up, read about, or contribute to Malaysian music. Accessibility isn’t an add-on: it’s part of what makes the archive trustworthy and useful.

​
Our Commitment

Diskograf targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the baseline standard across the site. That means, in practical terms:
  • Text contrast meets the required ratios: body text at 4.5:1 or better, large text at 3:1 or better.
  • Full keyboard navigation is available on every page. You can browse, search, and edit without a mouse.
  • No color-only signalling. Errors and required states pair color with an icon or a label, so the meaning survives outside a color-sensitive context.
  • Reduced motion is respected. Where the site uses motion, prefers-reduced-motion triggers a designed, readable alternative rather than hiding content.

​
Contributor Tools

Adding a song, editing credits, and maintaining an artist profile are just as much part of Diskograf as reading it. Contributor tools use the same accessibility rules as the rest of the site: keyboard operable, screen-reader friendly, and legible without relying on color to convey validation state.

​
Landing and Marketing Surfaces

Landing pages and campaign surfaces may use richer motion, scroll-driven storytelling, and expressive typography. When they do, they still meet these rules:
  • The full message and primary actions remain available in a static, no-motion fallback.
  • Motion effects respect prefers-reduced-motion with a designed alternative.
  • Keyboard access, visible focus, readable contrast, and touch target sizes are preserved regardless of the visual treatment.
Motion is used to reveal relationships in the archive, not as decoration on top of unrelated content.

​
Known Limitations

We track accessibility issues alongside every other quality issue. If something on the site is blocking your use of it, we want to know so we can fix it, not add it to a status page.

​
Reporting an Accessibility Issue

If you run into an accessibility barrier on Diskograf, please email the general Diskograf contact address:
Include:
  • The page or feature where you ran into the issue.
  • What you were trying to do.
  • The assistive technology or setup you were using, if you’re comfortable sharing it.
We reply to every accessibility report, and we prioritise fixes for issues that block core catalogue use (search, browsing, reading a record) over cosmetic ones.
